I am so happy right now in these lovely little holidays. If life was like the holidays all the time I think we would live in a much happier world, probably without war and world hunger and AIDS. We should all live the way Joe Strummer did before he died. How he would go around to all these different countries all over the world and see the communities and listen to all their different kinds of music and just take it all in. And he would live for months just camping, sitting around bonfires with all these interesting people, totally removed from the rest of the world. That was his dream, according to this documentary I watched. For the world to be full of campfires, all these happy communities. Yep the Clash aren't just a punk band boom.
Like he said;
"People can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. "
